The Political Freakshow

quickhits:

Rational thought; you’re doing it wrong.

Raw Story:
Fundamentalist Christian radio host Bryan Fischer says that the white supremacist who massacred six people at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin must have been a liberal because he hated former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain and had a “a left-wing political philosophy.”
On his Tuesday American Family Association radio show, Fisher said that Wade Michael Page could not be connected to the tea party because he had threatened to leave the country if Cain was elected president. But the conservative radio host failed to mention that Page’s hate for African Americans may have trumped any desire to support the Republican candidate.
“The tea party [is] primarily made up of white people, of evangelicals, people of faith,” Fischer explained. “We loved Herman Cain. He was a black guy. We loved him. We would have been happy to have him be our presidential candidate. This guy despised Herman Cain.”

Ok, so here’s the reasoning; Herman Cain is a black Republican, neo-Nazis hate black people, therefore neo-Nazis are white liberals. Of course, you’ve got to remember that Herman Cain was nowhere near on track for getting a unanimous GOP nomination — or even polling a majority — so, by Fischer’s “reasoning,” we must conclude that half the Republican Party’s voters are white neo-Nazi liberals.
Luckily for Fischer, wingnuts aren’t extremely interested in consistency in reasoning. If they were, there’d be no Tea Party or religious right at all.

Um, Fischer, not all conservatives love Herman Cain. Good one! You insulted half of your own party. They won’t notice.
